I hope someone can help me, as I have come to the point of no return and endless frustration. So, here is my problem...
Server: My own
What's installed:
- Windows 2000 Server
- IIS 5.0
- php 4
- ImageMagik
Website examplified: http://www.example.org/newsite/index.php
Issues:
1.) Although a trivial issue, my IIS does not allow virtual folders. For instance, if I just use the URL http://www.example.org/newsite/ it does not work. Shouldn'
t it just default to index.php?
------------------------
As you can see, I have installed PHPNuke, and here is where some of the wierd issues begin.
2.) My users cannot login after registering. Usually PHPNuke sends out a validation email. However, since I did not know how to set up the SMTP server correctly, I just installed a PHPNuke mod that allowed me to have the users instantly verify with a web link. After registering, the users do not get moved to the main nuke_users database -- I know, because I have checked.
(perhaps something funky with MySQL? There shouldn't be, as I can post news just fine)
3.) Another frustrating issue occurs when I am in the AdminCP of PHPNuke. It will not allow me to re-name my blocks? For instance, I want to name my mai
n Modules block to Navigation - it doesn't work. However, this function works just fine on a paid webhost. But, again, this is my own server, so I am quite frustrated.
4.) Finally, my last issue has to deal with using an ImageGallery addon for PHPNuke. The Gallery is unable to create thumbnail sized images. Yes, I have ImageMagik installed, and g2.dll allowed in my php.ini.
I may not have explained those issues as well as I should have, but I do not know what else to describe. Please, I beg of you, ask me questions to derive whatever else might be useful in determing my odd errors. I FULLY appreciate anyone's time that takes a look at this for me.
So, what do you think?

I won't be able to help much with IIS, I stopped using that server years ago. The feature you are describing though sounds a lot like Content Negotiation or "extensionless URIs". Searching the MS support site for one or the other regarding IIS should turn up something I would think. If not, there is also a Forum [webmasterworld.com] here at WebmasterWorld in which folks might point you in the right direction.
As far as PHPNuke goes, most all of these issues still seem to be related to your server configuration as well. If you continue to have difficulties, perhaps you might try getting your feet wet with Apache? Our own PHP Forum Library [webmasterworld.com] has a couple of threads teaching how to setup and install PHP5 and Apache on your Windows machine.
